Green Beans Almondine – fresh green beans tossed with buttery toasted almonds and lemon juice. A quick, simple, and delicious side dish.
This is my current favorite side dish. I’ve made it approximately 16 times in the last month.
It’s so simple but so delicious. Just fresh green beans quickly boiled and then tossed with almonds toasted in butter and fresh lemon juice.
It’s easy enough for a simple weeknight dinner but delicious enough to impress guests or serve for Thanksgiving!

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes – moist pumpkin cupcakes with pecans and raisins and topped with cream cheese frosting!
Hi guys! I can’t stop making pumpkin desserts. I’ve only blogged a fraction of them because I don’t want to become a pumpkin blog.
But I can’t stop making them.
At one point, we had 4 containers of pumpkin treats on the counter and I finally had to take them to my gym and leave them for everyone else because I did not need 4 different pumpkin desserts staring at me every time I walked into the kitchen.
But I made cupcakes today! Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes! They’re super moist, delicious pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon, ginger, and cloves so they taste like fall. Plus, they have chopped pecans and raisins inside. And they are topped with cream cheese frosting!
If you wanted to do a non-traditional Thanksgiving dessert or you need a sweet idea for Friendsgiving or even a Halloween party, these are perfect. They really easy to make, they taste amazing, and everyone always loves a cupcake!

Okay, I know it’s a little early to be thinking about Thanksgiving but I can’t help it. It was freezing last week in Texas and it got me all excited for the holidays and now we’re talking about Thanksgiving side dishes.
If you want an easy, make ahead side dish option, this farro salad is perfect. The cranberries and pecans make it feel holiday-ish but it’s nice and light and healthy!
Or, if you want to just make a batch for your lunches for the week, perfect for that too. Throw some grilled chicken on top to complete the meal!
